I Have an application built in a shared folder accessed by my customers through VPN connection. It is a per user charge service. Recently i got sense some customers are sharing one single user to multiple persons that access it simultaniously. Can I restrict the number of simultaneous vpn sessions per specific user? If yes, how to? (Using Windows Server 19 Standard)

Example:

  • AzureAD\customer.user.1 is restricted to 1 simultaneous vpn session;
  • AzureAD\customer.user.2 is restricted to 3 simultaneous vpn sessions;
  • AzureAD\customer.user.3 is restricted to 20 simultaneous vpn sessions;

Thanks in advance,

Toni

    Hello,

    According to your needs, you can try to use the Network Policy Server to create a network policy that enforces session limits to specify the maximum number of connections for a user. You can refer to the following link:

    Thank you very much @Zunhui Han. I'll study this guide in the next few days and give back a feedback on the results. I thought it would have an easy function for that. I'll need to setup a test environment to be sure I'll not stop service for my customers.

    regards,

    Toni
